Account Name: DocDissect


Basic Character Information
Name: Gavril Strigoi
Nickname: -
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Affiliation: Marine
Rank (Commendations): Master Chief Petty Officer (0)
Achievements:
  • Survived as a troglodyte
  • Became a clergyman, got a sweet-ass gemstone sword
  • Never glowed
  • Enlisted into the Navy, worked his way up somewhat despite being widely distrusted

Profession:
  • Temple Guardian (primary)

    The temple guardians are clerics of Gloom Island whose primary role lies in combat. They defend their brothers and sisters in faith from the horrors of the Light and whatever else the caverns and the outside world throws at them as well as preserve the curious remnants of their once glorious domain. The temple guardians wield their traditional gemstone greatswords with great skill and adamant resolve and train rigorously for the upcoming battles. Characters with this profession have access to certain additional traits and may create "Stance" techniques. (Reskinned Weapon Specialist: Greatsword profession)


  • Gloom Priest (secondary)

    The so-called gloom priests are the spiritual leaders of people of Gloom Island. They converse with the divines – or so they say -, perform and lead religious rituals and tend to their flock’s wellbeing. Their most important duty, however, is to delve into the strange machinery of their forebears, collect their sacred lore and keep as much of them in working condition as possible. (Reskinned Inventor profession)

Position: Whatever he is commissioned to do, up to quartermaster


Physical Appearance
Height: 190 cm (6’3”)
Weight: 90 kg (198 lb)
Hair: Short, pale blonde much like what most of his people have and usually well-combed despite nobody actually seeing Gavril dwelling too much on his personal appearance.
Eyes: Icy blue, almost fading into white and often bearing a penetrating, strict gaze. They are very sensitive to light, occasionally necessitating some squinting for him to see better, which gives Gavril a somewhat deprecating look.
Clothing/Accessories: Gavril’s most commonly wore attire is – naturally – his uniform. It is fairly traditionalist and consist of an ordinary white marine shirt, navy-blue jeans, a blue scarf-like sash around his neck (not entirely unlike the standard neckerchief), a sturdy white jacket usually left open and the uniform baseball cap. When dressing civilian he usually dons an old-fashioned, dark blue sailor’s storm coat and matching trousers over a long-sleeved dark grey shirt. He has a third set of clothes he rarely ever wears, normally only while conducting certain religious ceremonies: his – somewhat worn – temple guardian attire, which consists of a grey, almost coatlike shirt, trousers and a cloak of the same kind of fabric, and also a pair of thick, knee-long leather gloves and an ornate, if chipped, brass pauldron on his left shoulder. All his attires include a set of straps on his back to carry around his sword in: on the back of his marine jacket, his temple guardian shirt and even his civilian coat, although in a more discreet fashion in the latter case. Regardless his clothes his footwear is always a pair of sturdy leather boots and footcloth underneath.
General Appearance: A man of lanky and sinewy stature, at first sight Gavril may not appear to be tough enough to wield a weapon as heavy as he does. He, however, most certainly is. His body, while not exactly toned for beauty, holds plenty of muscle and almost zero unnecessary fat. His complexion is pale, close to ashen, which makes him rather prone to sunburns; his hide is chequered with scars, several of which are burn marks, courtesy of the Light. His limbs are longer than average, his hands and feet are large, his fingers are long and grant a powerful grasp.

Gavril might be described as handsome, despite his usual less than friendly gaze. He has an overall manly face, with a strong jawline, a fairly large nose, somewhat sunken eyes, a high forehead and an uncanny tendency toward stubbles. His eyebrows are bushy and play a rather large part in his more good-natured expressions.

The Character
Personality: Taciturn and deeply imbibed with the tenets of a backwater religion, Gavril is often viewed as an oddjob if not straight-up insane by his peers. The former he may be in more civilized parts but certainly not the latter. Within his unusual bounds Gavril is actually a rather level-headed and logical individual, he simply regards certain dogmas and superstitions as truth and acts accordingly. He performs prayers and religious rituals throughout the day, sometimes even on duty, if need be; he sees divine or unholy presence in things mundane to others such as the weather, the behaviour or the turning of luck. Due to his cultural heritage he treats daylight with open animosity, describing it as “searing” or “blinding” and preferring night duty over daytime even if it results in him being sleep-deprived.

Gavril feels no particular calling to be a marine; he regards his duty as some sort of a tithe rather than a chosen affiliation. Despite this, he is known for performing well: the disciplined mindset of a temple guardian results in a formal and by-the-book attitude as a marine just as much as a cleric. He can even be called no-nonsense and down to earth in his own unusual way. He performs life-threatening tasks without worry thanks to his belief to merely be an instrument of the divine, shared by all Gloom Island clerics. Oddly enough, while this view stems in humility, it tends to inspire his comrades as they often mistake his indifference towards personal harm as valiance. Despite this, he does not particularly enjoy neither danger nor rallying and leading allies. And just like he feels no strong attachment to his current comrades, he doesn’t think much of their archenemies, either: in his eyes pirates are mere criminals, akin to bandits and thieves, with not a shred more or less glory.

He doesn’t exactly seem to know the concept of free time. When not on duty he usually either performs religious acts or simply prepares for the next shift by practice, keeping his equipment in working condition and studying the civilization he was separated from for most of his life. Due the necessity of the latter he can come across as awkward, marvelling over objects and habits that are completely ordinary to others, further reinforcing his status as an odd man. He is not very good with people when he’s supposed to be casual, either. He sometimes seems uptight or blunt, but that’s just because he never really learned how to act “mundane”… and especially not with women. Some of Gavril’s underlings even remark (behind his back, of course) that he might be a virgin. This, although it seems doubtful, has some basis, since he is normally horrid at handling romantic advancements after living the best of his youth as a celibate cleric.

Due to his philosophies, Gavril has no personal ambitions or goals to speak of. He will stoically accept what fate the divines bestow upon him, be it good or ill. His rising through the ranks is just a whim of some higher powers to him. Nonetheless, he does his duty and does it well thanks to his discipline, just as indifferently as he climbs the ladder. The one thing he probably couldn’t bear would be the destruction of his people. That, however, he simply cannot imagine happening: how could the divines ever leave their children, after all?
Hometown: Grotă, Gloom Island, South Blue
History:
A lenghty and boring read from somewhere down under


Abilities and Possessions
Combat: Gavril is a skilful combatant, having practiced the use of his weapon of choice throughout most of his life. He is cold and pragmatic, taking pleasure only in ending his fights. Although he prefers to win by pure and disciplined swordsmanship, he is not above using underhanded tactics for a “holy” cause if he has to. Due to his slab of a blade Gavril’s style is mostly composed of arcing slashes and lunging thrusts capable of piercing a boar, while his defence is taken care of by unbudging parries with almost as much force behind them as a strike. His blade is wide enough to be used for cover, which Gavril can exert against ranged combatants.

Weaponry
Greatsword
Tier 1
A weapon designed after the gemstone swords of Gloom Island. It’s about the same height as Gavril, 30 cm at its widest and almost 4 cm at its thickest. The handle is about 40 long, allowing a firm two-handed grip. The sword is richly decorated with religious symbols, but despite that it is made of mundane iron.


Items
Religious mishmash
The oddest things. Amulets, little idols, tiny flasks of stinking oils, small gadgets with no apparent sane function. They don’t seem – and most likely aren’t – valuable or useful barring him holding them sacred. One could also swear Gavril’s kit of them changes from time to time, even when he should have no access to new ones.
Weapon maintaining equipment
This he never fails to carry with him. It includes a few whetstones, pieces of sturdy fabric and leather, weapon oil and small carving irons to smooth out the decorations on the blade if need be. He also carries spare straps and buckles.
Pauldron
Tier 1
A chipped brass pauldron, belonging to the temple guardian outfit and the only piece of armour Gavril ever wears. It doesn't cover much but it can withstand a blow or two, and it also allows him to rest his blade on his shoulder without risking chopping his own arm off. Commonly wore on the left side.

Offensive Greatswordsman Techniques
Humble Word (4*)
Type: Offensive
Range: Melee
Power: 8
Description: As a priest delivers a sermon in the name of the Gloom, temple guardians delivers their swordsmanship. And, as a sermon is composed of pious words, the guardian style is mainly composed of these heavy, arcing slashes. This most humble “word”, the single strike executed by this technique carries enough force to knock away a grown man so that the guardian has space to swing again. (8 Displacement)


Defensive Greatswordsman Techniques
Protest (4*)
Type: Defensive
Range: Self
Power: 8
Description: Sermons of the sword are delivered to an unwilling audience that has a tendency to object them. A temple guardian must learn to “protest” against these violent objections. They commonly parry melee attacks head-on with minimal movement and lock weapons if possible.
Withstand (4*)
Type: Defensive
Range: Self
Power: 8
Description: When guardians are assaulted with ranged attacks, their brawn is of much less use. In these cases they usually have no chance but to persevere until the gap is closed. While withstanding such an attack, they parry projectiles the same way as melee strikes or simply block them, using the wide blade as a makeshift shield.

For Mastery techniques write them as 4*. The * indicates the Mastery and that you're only spending 4.

Humble words should state that it is one heavy arcing slash as many would be a Gatling.

Protest seems to be doing too much. Should stick to parrying a blade or deflecting projectiles.

The brass pauldron won't be protecting anything unless it's purchased.

First three issues are fixed, I think.

Pauldron is now included in Items, if you give me a price I'll buy it (or delete it if I can't afford it).

The pauldron's just 50k.

Deduct that and the app can be approved (unless the next person finds another issue!)
